In October, leading biofuels manufacturer, Argent Energy, opened Europe's largest facility dedicated to producing bio-based, technical-grade glycerine. The state-of-the-art refinery at Argent's Port of Amsterdam site will upgrade crude glycerine (a by-product of the company's waste-based biodiesel manufacturing processes) into 99.7% pure, technical-grade glycerine, producing 50,000 tons a year. Certified under the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification System, the product is fully traceable, ensuring the highest sustainability standards.
Argent Energy's bio-based glycerine is suitable for a wide range of technical applications, offering a replacement for several petrochemicals used in manufacturing. The company currently produces over 190,000 tonnes of waste-based biodiesel per year, and is continuing to scale up its operations, with plans to triple biofuel production at its Amsterdam site alone.
